Cardinal Hugh of St. Cher’s Commentary on Jesus’ Parable of Dives and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31)

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Today the name of Cardinal Hugh of St. Cher may not be well known—even among biblical scholars—but it should be. Readers will owe a great debt to the work of Robert Karris, who has so deftly shown the perspicacity and breadth of intellect of this medieval Dominican friar. Karris writes that he became enthralled with the work Hugh of St. Cher. Having read this study of Hugh’s commentary on the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, I now not only understand the thrall that Fr. Karris confesses, but I share it.”

Touching the Bones of Elisha

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The authors, like well-worn, flat stones, skip across the waves of three thousand years of Judeo-Christian traditions. They bounce from young volunteers in Malawi to Job to sisters in a Nazi concentration camp to Francis of Assisi to the Curse on the Chicago Cubs! And with each bounce, the reader is treated to inspiring stories of God acting in our lives. Each chapter concludes with four helpful ways to awaken our spiritual lives. Practical, touching, effective ways to help us touch those life-giving bones of Elisha.”
